The readers of Veronica Magazine voted Ronald, Best Dutch DJ, as did readers of Update Magazine. And "deejay" Molendijk has been spreading his wings. Enter "producer" Ronald Molendijk! He has produced tracks under the names of Flat Earth Society, Booming Support, DJRM, Ippon and has done remixes for artists such as London Beat, Dave Stewart and Candy Dulfer.
In addition to producing and remixing material, Ronald has mixed a great number of DJ compilations CDs for such companies as Arcade (Turn up the Bass, 3 DJs ), EVA (Movin mellow), BMG (Nighttown part 1). He is also the producer of the latest album from Jan Akkerman (once voted world's best guitarist by the readers of the British magazine Melody Maker). Additionally, he produced several tracks for jazz legend Michiel Borstlap. He also launched Ippon – a musical joint venture with judo world champion Dennis van der Geest.
In 2001, he founded the band Soulvation, which was an instant success, scoring top-ten hits such as I Just Can't Stop, Summer in the City and Reset Your Brain. Soulvation performed at every major festival in the Netherlands.
Thinking and doing outside the box is a way of life for Ronald. Collaborating on stage with saxophone greats Candy Dulfer and Hans Dulfer is just one example. Ronald Molendijk describes his musical style as eclectic. He has a fondness for hard-hitting beats and pushing the boundaries.
